Default '63 Booster Question

I've got a leaking master cyl and figure while I'm at it I'll replace or rebuild by power brake booster (doesn't seem to do much boosting now). But I'm seeing that most replacement boosters aren't correct for the '63 or don't fit under the stock hood.

Any recommendations on a rebuild or replacement booster?

Thanks guys! Steve says he can't do the '63 but Dewey says he can bought the stuff to make the diaphragms. So it's off to Portland for a rebuild.
